So I probably shouldn't have called Nietzsche a misogynist without any qualification. His stance on that is pretty ambiguous, and he has said contradictory things, so that's something that would merit an entire discussion on its own.

Thanks for a great video. Some interesting books, some I've readand some i will now seek to read! Capitalist relism is certainly a classic, great to see that in there! And you reminded me of todd may's deleuze which has sat untouched on my shelf for several years since i graduated, and may get shuffled up the ever growing list in light of your review. Looking forward to the next video! x

I read both of those Mark Fisher-books last year, too! In fact, I discovered him through your video on hauntology. So thanks, and keep up the good work ^^

I appreciate the book recommendations! I'm trying to sharpen up my philisophical strengths while I look into school applications. I'll be sure to delve into some of these texts. Much appreciated!

Your video on vaporwave got me interested in Mark Fisher, so I ended up reading both Capitalist Realism and Ghosts of My Life because of that. My goal for 2019 is to tackle both Bataille and Deleuze, so thank you for taking the time to make these recommendations. Keep up the great work!

I have read both Fisher works as well! I will be using them in my dissertation on depression in neoliberal society. Awesome and significant works.

wow! glad to see raymond geuss on here! i highly recommend his series of lectures on nietzsche (available on youtube). he is a man who is excited about his field and it shows.

Great video as always! I already purchased and read some Fisher due to your videos and I'll definitely be adding some of these to my reading list!

Great video! I especially enjoyed the conclusion you came to concerning the relationship between Nietzsche's philosophy and the left considering that I had come to a similar conclusion when I was studying his work.

I was waiting for a video like this. Thank you

Before I watch this. I just want to say that I love your content and that I started reading Bataille because of your video on Hellraiser. Thank you. From Greece

Hi! I find this book recomendation video surprisingly (as for this genre) interesting and I definitely want to read those books now :) What I really want to say right now (and probably repeat my predecessors) is: have you ever heard about Polish sci-fi writer, Stanisław Lem? No further explanations, I just think that his art might bring you a lot of intelectual pleasure :) Thanks for your work, you are great! :D

Scooped up much of Fisher's oeuvre myself for Christmas and I've been digging him something heavy. Love that he made your list too!

I am not some Nietzsche expert but coincidentally I am just now reading Human, All Too Human. I know that everyone presents his misogyny as a fact and maybe my expectations were so low that I was positively surprised. He writes many things we see today as misogynistic but he also repeares that all differences between men and women are caused by upbringing and conditions of life - he claims that woman can act just as man if the society will treat her as such (in a long term of several generations). So that puts his misogyny in a new light for me - it is critique of woman role, not inherent woman condition. But maybe I am wrong and in his other works he writes something bad? I also find important that in Zarathustra he uses ubermench (over-human) and not ubermann (over-man, english translation is a bit misleading) and I sort of thought that his overhuman is above gender. But again I can be very much wrong and it is too long since I have read Zarathustra and I have read it in czech so that also can make some difference.

It's a great list, thanks! Thinking about Raymond Geuss' encouragement to focus on '1.Realism' - not the way things ought to be, but the way people actually act, it would be great to hear something in the future related to more modern understandings of 'human nature'. Considering most major philosophers had to make a lot of assumptions about human nature based on pretty patchy understandings of the natural sciences, and that people from all over of the political spectrum invoke 'human nature' when defending/attacking the current or alternative political and economic systems. Robert Sapolsky's book 'Behave', which is based on his popular Standford youtube lecture series (Human Behavioral Biology) is pretty helpful at least in updating most people's understanding of evolution, and encouraging an understanding of genetics and other biological and social processes that affect human behaviour, incorporating complex systems theory and game theory. There are plenty of others to choose from, too. Another that springs to mind is biologist David Sloan Wilson's 'Does Altruism Exist?' He has done a lot of work on the evolution of group behaviour (within and between groups) and he majorly critiqued Dawkins' simplistic 'selfish gene' theory from the '70s that contributed somewhat to the vehemence with which neoliberal capitalism was taken up. I know it's not your standard thing, but I feel like any improvement in understanding about the current state of the natural sciences in relation to philosophy and political economy could be a good thing....

Hey, I'm a French subscriber and I was wondering : are you familiar with the work of Bachelard ? Beyond the pretty mainstream Philosophy of sciences/ epistemology books, like the "Formation of the Scientific Mind", he spent the end of his life writing some extremely singular works at the crossing of phenomenology, phsychoanalysis and aesthetics, centered around the antic elemental tetralogy ( Phsychoanalysis of Fire, Water and Dreams, Earth and the reveries of Will...) I can't tell for sure, but I feel like they all should have been translated to english. Definitely one of my favourite philosophers, if you haven't heard of those, you might be interested :) .

Escpecially the notion epistemological break seems to me as totally synonymous with Kuhn's paradigm shift. He also seems to have anticipated psychological explanations of scientific discoveries. He has a firm place in history of philosophy and ought to be studied more seriously.

I imagine you’re probably busy with other projects. I have really enjoyed your book recommendations and your perspective on them.

Have you ever tried Phillip K Dick's Do androids dream with electric sheep? I think it might be of use for your ontological structuration of Baudrillard's and postpunk philosophical items.

Thanks for the recommendation! Have a question, have you read the condition of posmodernity by Harvey? If so, what are your thoughts?

I feel pretty emotional. It’s like, we’re going to be okay. Angela Davis. Lacan. Genealogy of Morals 🥰 I needed motivation to finish that Deleuze intro also. Now I got some. It’s to hear of someone else going through the struggle and glory of reading texts like these. Thanks dude!!

DeLanda social ontology approach is a great companion of research! Useful and analytically solid.

Would love to see a video on Richard Rorty's "Contingency, Irony and Solidarity". Love your videos.

If you're interested in Social Ontology I would suggest works by Georg Lukács and Roy Bhaskar (I mention them together because they basically complement each other). Lukács' "Zur Ontologie des Gesellschaftlichen Seins" is a masterpiece although incredible complex and so far has not been fully translated to english (only particulars chapters on Hegel, Marx and Labour as a ontological category of the Social Being). Now Bhaskar in his "A Realist Theory of Science" while simultaneously elaborating his theory of science ("transcendental realism") lays the groundwork for a theory of social being - while developing an demolishing critique of positivism - elaborated in his next book "The Possibility of Naturalism". I would really recommend Bhaskar's "A Realist Theory of Science" to basically anyone, really. It is much more than its title suggest (at the same time that it is what is title suggest being really the most solid defende for a uncompromising ontological realism in philosophy). Both of them, of course, take they manly cues from Marx, indeed both attempt to elaborate on the ontology presupposed by Marx's philosophy. Cheers.

If you know anything about Nietzsche's personal life, political stances, and relations with women around him, it's pretty hard to accuse him of being especially misogynist. He was one of 4 professors at his university who voted for women to be admitted, championed women's suffrage movements, and spent a great deal of his social time hanging around with women who were radically feminist for the times. The image of Nietzsche as a sickly, woman hating incel type isn't quite accurate.

It's rare to see someone explain Bataille so clearly (just read Nick Land to see what I mean). Thanks for the recommendations!

Thanks for delivering this list.

If you are at all interested in reading any SF book, I'd have to recommend Samuel R. Delany's "Dhalgren" because it has a considerable intersection with post-structuralist philosophy, & is also a very interesting read. Most readers familiar with philosophy may associate it with the accursed share, libidinal economy, or even assemblage depending upon their reading.

Deleuze's book on Kant's critical philosophy was honestly one of the best commentaries on Kant I have read. Analytic philosophers tend to dissect Kant. A very refreshing take on the whole of Kant's theory of cognition It certainly wasn't easy however.

Highly recommend the Eugene Holland book on Anti-Oedipus. Probably the most fascinating read I've had in a long while

I can really recommend "Nietzsche's Genealogy" by Randall Havas, if you want to read a another good interpretation. You make great videos!

This channel is amazing

Can you do a comparison on Bataille’s conception of the sacred with Schopenhauer’s conception of the intellect when freed from the constraints of the will?

YES! There HAS been many Deleuze videos lately! i was sure i was imagining it but now i got confirmation. Does anyone know why this sudden interest in Deleuze?

I'm also registering my discontent towards your calling Nietzsche a misogynist, dude. Hope you create a video on that particular topic. Otherwise, your work is great!

Hi, have you read or do you plan to read any Derrida?

Based on your pick here I reckon you'd froth on Contingency Irony & Solidarity by Richard Rorty.

On Nietzsche and misogyny; I think there actually is a nuance and a point to Nietzsche's rants on women. For example, in "Beyond Good and Evil", Nietzsche begins the book (first sentence in prologue actually) by writing "Supposing that truth is a woman..." and basically goes on to say that the reason philosophers haven't been able to arrive at truth is because they lack "game" (too clumsy, too strictly dogmatic, etc.). Much later in that same book, he goes on to say that "nothing is more foreign to women than truth", which may seem like a contradiction; but keeping in mind that Nietzsche was generally critical to truth, and saw "truth" as a covering-up of some unconscious instinct of the philosophers who pretended to aim at it, one can read it as the truth of truth being a) its untruth, and b) its pretension to being true, in order to hide its untruth. He compares this to the way in which women beautify themselves; in putting on make-up, the "covering up" is of course the entire point of the exercise (the appearance of beauty is the point of beauty), and there is nothing "truer" hiding behind it. Derrida makes basically this point in his "Spurs: Nietzsche's styles". In addition, Nietzsche's comments about women wanting equal rights in a democratic society as pathetic aren't strictly misogynistic, considering his general view on "democracy" and "equal rights" in the first place :P

Sometimes I get really dejected trying to understand philosophy and wonder why I am putting myself through the ordeal? But then I look at the news sometimes. Like for example today about the appalling treatment of mental health patients at a hospital in the UK. Where it seems staff neglected the basic distinction between object and subject - arguably what could cause someone to have mental health problems in the first place. One particular patient, who didn't start self harming until they went into the mental hospital for an eating disorder, got me. Only a few days earlier I had been reading about the insular cortex - its role in apparently switching our awareness between our inward perception of ourselves and our outward perception of the world outside of us. And it being implicated in many mental health problems - including self harm and eating disorders (but particularly schizophrenia). The problem apparently being due to low activity of the insular cortex in the case of self harm. Over activity can lead to chronic pain symtoms apparently - so the activity of the insular relates to our sense of our connection with our own body... which is dis-connected in the case of those who self harm. A treatment for self harm would be practices such as activities which help you connect with your body then (like meditative tai chi for example if I had to think of something). But this patient at this mental hospital I was reading about was just locked up and treated like an animal. And told if they self harmed then that's just their own choice. This is where we are?

Exactly my problem with Ghosts of my life. I didn't know a lot of the cultural references Fisher talks about in the book, because I ain't British and that old. I tried hard to care because he was very passionate about this topics

Best sci fi I ever read was Robert Heinlein's 'Stranger in a Strange Land.' It was the first book to get me to question conventional wisdom about sexuality and western culture more broadly.

I just realised how hilarious the idea that postmodernism creates identity politics really is - someone like Deleuze who critiques the idea of identity ALSO being someone who pushes it forward?

I am currently reading "Beyond good and evil." My opinion is that Nietzsche is more of a source of inspiration than a foundation builder for any seemingly substantiated doctrine or movement.

Do you read these books on kindle or you actually buy the book?

have you read Luhmann? His life works is named 'systems theorie'. It's very abstract, very hard to read, but totally worth it. Also I think you would like it, since Luhmann picked up at the main ideas you listed for 'philosophy and real politics' and went on another 30 Years of very methodically improving up on those. 'systems theorie' is a tool to analyze and describe society as objective as humanly possible. It _explicitly_ not concludes any moral values, does not indulge in behaviors and roles of 'individuals', nor does it suggest any solutions, or help in defining what a 'problem' is. that neutral position makes it particulary hard to read for people like me, leaning to the left wing of the political spectrum. it's high level of abstraction, very distinct and precisely defined language, often uses words, commonly associated with very different meaning in other contexts. It needs to do that, to reach the enormous high level of formalization rivaled only by mathematics and it has to manage that, using pre-existing language, where every word already has a meaning. without any option to 'make up and define' previously unused symbols/words like mathematicians do. Adorno (which I highly value) famously called Luhmann a fascist, before even reading him. When Adorno realized how wrong he was about Luhrmann being a fascist, after having actually read his work, he changed his rethoric and called it 'irrelevant', 'a theorie about society, leaving out the people' and kept calling Luhmann a 'technocrate'. that's probably as close to saying 'I was wrong', as Adorno got. In my opinion it's one of the most important works of the 20'th century, but it took several approaches and > 20y for me to get there. It's a tragedy, that the left wing doesn't like 'systems theory', since it works so remarkably well for all the wrong people! It needs you to bring your clearly defined values and/or goals with you, one of which is already sufficient to use 'systems theory' with great success. Libertarian think tanks, neo-conservative political pressure groups, the financial sector, marketing experts and the like, happen to have such clearly defined goals and use 'systems theory' with great success to pursue their interests most efficient. The theory as such is entirely neutral and works just as well, for the kinds of values & goals proposed by the left wing (probably even better, since we don't have to constantly lie about our agenda to everyone else). It doesn't leave room for illusion, idealism and utopism. Unfortunately for most people that associate themselves with 'left', those unreflected moral reasons seem to be the only motives we have, which is why we feel threatened to question our believes. turns out, reading Luhmann didn't change any of my ideals, but my reasons to believe that those ideals are true, are much more complicated and far better than before. Leaving such a remarkable tool to the shameless and cynical, that are always in power anyway, is a real shame!

Zeev Sterrnhell's The Anti-Enlightenment Tradition (Les anti-Lumières: Une tradition du XVIIe siècle à la guerre froide, 2006) and Giorgio Agamben's Homo Sacer (1995) or Alain Badiou's Being and Event are highly recommended

8:45 Manuel DeLanda sounds pretty interesting. Also bees on the cover. Off the back of (my lame attempts at) understanding existential anxiety. I've been thinking more about Identity as Anxiety, and social anxiety (in fact I have been thinking about gender identity as been understood through the mood of anxiety - not just from an existentialist point of view, as I came at this reasoning from evidence of the limited number of autopsies done on transgender individuals.. i.e. it relates to the central sub-division of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, which was a hit record by Elvis Presley back in the day) - as anxiety isn't about specific things as such I think. As in I think anxiety is the social - well existentially it concerns "the nothing" (?). So y'know applying a cheese grater to my face with social constructs as well. I actually live in hell. It's not so bad - they've installed a thermostat, just you now have to alter the temperature repetitively over and over in an endless monotonous hellish cycle. I was also thinking about the social network analysis covered in the report into the Alternative Influencer Network (Sargon etc) on youtube quite a while before that report was published. I think such analysis would be useful in reference to for example Angie Speaks recent video about the "Social Clout Game". I am either laughing or moaning in agony - it depends on your relative displacement to me as to the frequency of the sound signatures I emit to indicate laughter or pain. Peace.

What is the beautiful thing he said about joy division?

how many books did you read this year?

I too recently read The Genealogy of Morals. I was thinking of writing a critique due to the failure to break down the components of morality/ethics. Has anyone already done this?

He doesn't fail to break them down, he just assumes that you are as smart and as familiar with The Canon as he is.

@@tetrapharmakos8868 Fair comment. As far as I can tell "The Canon" didn't sufficiently break them down. He could have been the first.

. . . to be clear, saying that the reader isn't as smart as Nietzsche wants them to be isn't a personal insult.

Nietzsche is basically breaking down what follows from Christianized stoic philosophy. Plus utilitarianism, plus Kant. He's read all this and is assuming that we have read it plus hundreds of commentaries and critiques, all within the canon.

susan sontag wrote that bataille's story of the eye was the best pornography she ever read. the accursed share is an excellent read (not pornography). i found his theory of religion to be compelling as well.

I would recommend What Is Sex by Alenka Zupancic, which I'm reading right now (although the part relating to philosophy of science is kinda... meh. Maybe I'm not understanding something), and Ernest Becker's The Denial of Death, which I read recently.

So, does anyone know of anything that Nietzsche _didn't_ hate?
